SNOWMAN ROW QUILT UPDATE

An update on the snowman row quilt. I am working on the last row and about 1/3 done. I was anxious to see how things are going to fit together. I made the rows a bit longer so I could trim in the end. The left side of the quilt is not trimmed yet. This is not a good picture. There are some boxes in the way on the floor so I had to stand to the side to take a picture. Makes it look sort of lopsided.

I should be working on the last row applique but instead I have been in the sewing room the last two days and will be there again today. I am prepping blocks for a Noah's Ark pattern by Country Threads. It is taking a lot more time than I anticipated. Here is a picture of the pattern cover so you can see what it should look like.

I made a version of a Jan Patek Noah's Ark pattern in 2009. Here is a picture of that quilt.

I have one more Noah pattern that I could make in the future. It is by Jill Kemp. Looks like I will have a Noah's Ark quilt collection in the end. Have you made a Noah's Ark quilt?

The snowman quilt is looking so fun! ALMOST enough to tempt me to try applique again. : )I love that Noah's Ark pattern you are currently working. Very unique. I've never made a Noah's ark quilt, but I should have. That was kind of the theme of my daughter's nursery. I did a receiving blanket out of Noah's Ark fabric, but that is as far as I went with the theme. Every pattern was applique!

Gosh - all those quilts are fabulous! No I haven't made a Noah's Ark quilt, but it looks like I need to add one to my ever expanding to-do list. Love the Jan Patek version (your fabric selections are awesome!) - hopefully I'll be able to locate that pattern somewhere... - sunshdws at yahoo dot com

I LOVE your In the Meadow quilt!! I REALLY want to make this one...have the pattern and the fabric waiting... your's is tempting me to drop EVERYTHING and just jump in!! Also love your Noah's Ark quilt..very sweet!P

I wish I had a tenth of that talent. I have never been good at applique. I get into bursts where I attempt, fail, and put away. Eventually my stubborness may see me through so seeing quilts like yours keeps the determination factor up!
